Matins

Et, cum compleréntur dies Pentecóstes, erant omnes páriter in eódem loco : et factus est repénte de cælo sonus, tamquam adveniéntis spíritus veheméntis, et replévit totam domum ubi erant sedéntes.  Et apparuérunt illis dispertítæ linguæ tamquam ignis sedítque supra síngulos eórum : et repléti sunt omnes Spíritu Sancto, et cœpérunt loqui váriis linguis, prout Spíritus Sanctus dabat éloqui illis.  Erant autem in Jerúsalem habitántes Judæi, viri religiósi ex omni natióne, quæ sub cælo est.  Facta autem hac voce, convénit multitúdo, et mente confúsa est, quóniam audiébat unusquísque lingua sua illos loquéntes.  Stupébant autem omnes, et mirabántur, dicéntes : Nonne ecce omnes isti, qui loquúntur, Galilæi sunt?  Et quómodo nos audívimus unusquísque linguam nostram, in qua nati sumus?

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.  And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.  And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.  And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.  And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.  Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.  And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?  And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

V.  Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R.  Deo grátias.

V.  But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R.  Thanks be to God.

R.  Ego sum vitis vera, et vos pálmites : * Qui manet in me, et ego in eo, hic fert fructum multum, allelúja, allelúja.
V.  Sicut diléxit me Pater, et ego diléxi vos.
R.  Qui manet in me, et ego in eo, hic fert fructum multum, allelúja, allelúja.

Stans autem Petrus cum úndecim, levávit vocem suam, et locútus est eis : Viri Judæi, et qui habitátis Jerúsalem univérsi, hoc vobis notum sit, et áuribus percípite verba mea.  Non enim sicut vos æstimátis, hi ébrii sunt, cum sit hora diéi tértia.  Sed hoc est, quod dictum est per prophétam Joël : Et erit in novíssimis diébus (dicit Dóminus), effúndam de Spíritu meo super omnem carnem : et prophetábunt fílii vestri, et fíliæ vestræ, et júvenes vestri visiónes vidébunt, et senióres vestri sómnia somniábunt.  Et quidem super servos meos, et super ancíllas meas in diébus illis effúndam de Spíritu meo, et prophetábunt : et dabo prodígia in cælo sursum, et signa in terra deórsum, sánguinem, et ignem, et vapórem fumi : sol convertétur in ténebras, et luna in sánguinem, ántequam véniat dies Dómini magnus et maniféstus.  Et erit : omnis, quicúmque invocáverit nomen Dómini, salvus erit. 

But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: for these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.  But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; and it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: and on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: and I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come: and it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

V.  Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R.  Deo grátias.

Proper Third Lesson

Viri Israëlitæ, audíte verba hæc : Jesum Nazarénum, virum approbátum a Deo in vobis, virtútibus, et prodígiis, et signis, quæ fecit Deus per illum in médio vestri, sicut et vos scitis :  hunc definíto consílio et præsciéntia Dei tráditum, per manus iniquórum affligéntes, interemístis : quem Deus suscitávit, solútis dolóribus inférni, juxta quod impossíbile erat tenéri illum ab eo.  David enim dicit in eum : Providébam Dóminum in conspéctu meo semper : quóniam a dextris meis est mihi ne commóvear : Propter hoc lætátum est cor meum, et exsultávit lingua mea, ínsuper et caro mea requiéscet in spe : Quóniam non derelínques ánimam meam in inférno, nec dabis Sanctum tuum vidére corruptiónem.

Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.  For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

V.  Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R.  Deo grátias.

V.  But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R.  Thanks be to God.

R.  Expurgáte vetus ferméntum, ut sitis nova conspérsio : étenim Pascha nostrum immolátus est Christus : * Itaque epulémur in Dómino, allelúja.
V.  Mórtuus est propter delícta nostra, et resurréxit propter justificatiónem nostram.
R.  Itaque epulémur in Dómino, allelúja.
V.  Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
R.  Itaque epulémur in Dómino, allelúja.
